In 2023, the production of sandeels and sandlances in capture fisheries in France stood at 104.5 thousand Euros. The forecasted data indicated a consistent decline over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year decline observed is significant, with the value dropping from 88.22 thousand Euros in 2024 to 24.6 thousand Euros by 2028.
The year-on-year percentage decrease between 2024 and 2025 is approximately 18.32%, and between 2025 and 2026 is around 22.2%.
